Ratings and reviews

Feb 2025 after another brmb update... My tracking type 'compass' still spins around randomly & continuously. It is my only map app that does this. I don't use it for this reason and won't renew..I paid for a year wanting to support a local company but don't see any improvement. GPS direction does not lock on... Map keeps rotating. Customer support replies non . existent. UPDATE: Sept 21 sent email as they suggested a month ago. No Reply.

Feature rich App that tends to lose your data. I did already lose a ton of recorded waypoints and tracks twice. Once, when switching my subscription type and another time when I tried to sync my phone data with the web map. Sadly, there is no "export my data" function in the phone App to prevent such data loss 😞

Been using the paid version for 3 years. Started having issues lately. Emailed the app support people and they won't bother to reply and don't care to help. The route tracking stops working if my device screen is off - this is how I have always used the app. I'm not sure if it's because of my new phone or what? (S23). Hopefully I can get some help, otherwise I.might have to use a different app.
